Contra Costa Lawyer

August 2019

The Contra Costa County Bar Association can trace its beginnings back to 1934, with all male attorney Board Presidents for 51 years. In 1985, Suzanne Chapot, who was the only female attorney Board of Directors member, became its first female Board President. Her presidency was historic for several other reasons: she served a second consecutive term and faced the challenge of presiding over the newly formed county wide association after the merger of West County, East County and the Mt. Diablo Bar Associations.
